Forum awards - vote

O, the votes are now in.

Thank you to everyone who contributed.

The whole premise behind this was for members to give something back, in the timely manner of good will and spirit, to those inparticular who spend their time (and money as well in some cases) giving their advice and experience for free. With no personal gain, other than to help others, become better beekeepers.

This forum is a fantastic resource and no doubt has been to the seasonal benefit of hundreds of beekeepers, new and old. It would not be the rich and diverse place it is, without each and every beekeeper on here.

And so, the members forumers most feel deserve the awards, in the vein of thanks and appreciation are:

There were also several mentions of appreciation for all the unique and valued input Into the Lions den brings. A side of beekeeping many of us are curious about and we're lucky to be able to hear firsthand from 'the lions mouth'.

And the most used coat and time for a new coat award goes to...drstitson!

I hope you all found it fun and in keeping with the great community spirit we have on here.

Have a brilliant 2012.

See you in black and white symbols soon.

Gosh! Oh gosh! Well, I didn't think I'd get....
Oh my, oh my!

Well, I'd like to thank my parents for bringing me into the world.
My public school for teaching me how to bend over.
My bees and our coach, for all the dedication and practice.
The photographer who spent hours setting up that shot.
And to you, my wonderful, wonderful public, for voting for me.

A worthy winner!

Kazmcc looks after a hive at a local junior school, with few resources.

Deserves a medal!
